Did you check that, in the .desktop file, there is NO space at the end
 of EACH line ?

 This is my xournal.desktop file:

 [Desktop Entry]
 Encoding=UTF-8
 Version=0.4.2.1
 Type=Application
 Name=Xournal
 Comment=Take handwritten notes
 Exec=/usr/bin/xournal
 Icon=xournal
 X-Window-Icon=xournal
 X-Window-Icon-Dimmed=xournal
 X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
 X-Osso-Service=com.nokia.xournal
 MimeType=application/x-xoj;

 When it was not working the Exec= entry was:

 "Exec=/usr/bin/xournal "
 and not
 "Exec=/usr/bin/xournal"

 That space was the issue.
 However, this is my com.nokia.xournal.service file:

 [D-BUS Service]
 Name=com.nokia.xournal
 Exec=/usr/bin/xournal


 Hope it helps.
